    Thought I'd mention it here before I call a few folks that I know will want them. I was cleaning up a few shelves in my shop to make room for a new load of neck billets that are coming in from my kiln guy in Michigan and came across a few boxes of interest. I used to do a load of repair work for Martin and Gibson and have always kept alot of stock materials. Since moving away from repair work and building full time, the stuff just got shoved onto shelves and forgotten about.

   Anyway, I have a box of various Martin bridges...made in the Martin factory for sale. They are East Indian Rosewood and Ebony for the most part, but there are several Brazilan pieces in there as well. They are completely machined by Martin to their specs and have a variety of string spacings and even a few through or long saddle set ups. There are seveal straight bridge in both Ebony and Brazilian for vintage repairs or restorations. Heights are varied on them as well which is common for Martin repair parts to accommodate the many string height issues that can be present. I'll be sure to throw a couple more Brazilian bridges into the box to round it out a bit.

    Total, ther are at least 150 bridges in the box and I'm offering them at $500.00 for the whole box. That's well under 25%(give or take) of what they would cost directly from Martin. I'd like to just pack it up and have it on its way in one shipment rather than breaking them up.

   Just trying to clean house a little and I know someone may be able to use these or share them with a few friends who build or do repairs.

Feel free to email at omegaguitars@hotmail.com or call at (610)381-4041 if interested. I'll hold for a day or two before forwarding them to an authorized Martin warranty shop for use.

Thanks,

Kevin..
You mean I couldn't talk you out of at least 3 or 4 bridges?
I really need a few with a 2 5/16" pin width. Ebony or rosewood or BRW? Anything will help. I would buy them all but I just don't have that kind of money.
Help me out Please.
Thanks, Walter

Walter,
   Drop me an email and I'll see about hooking you up with a few. Do you want all 2 5/16" spacing? Let me know.

Regards,
